Rising to the Challenge! (Scrapbooking Challenges Galore Part 2)

Here's a sneak peak of today's project:

In honor of Mothers Day, I am posting a layout that I created for Challenge #10 from The Big Picture National Scrapbooking Day Creative Crop, posted by Stephanie Howell, using a scrapbook sketch from Let's Scrap.

My scrapbook layout is essentially a love letter to my two amazing sons, Attila and Tyler. I believe these photos were taken approximately 35 years ago, the summer after my split with my first husband, and have always been dear to my heart since they capture our island life at the time so perfectly. I'm thrilled that I've finally found these photos a proper home. (The scrapbooking paper is from Webster's Pages.) Thanks for the challenge, Stephanie!

CHALLENGE #10:
Create a
page sharing why you are grateful for a relationship in your life.

Hey y'all! Stephanie
Howell here, and I'm challenging you to go deeper in your journalling. I want
you to create a layout telling someone why you are grateful for them. It can be
silly, sweet, serious...it can be whatever you want it to be; just express your
gratitude.

I generally always journal on my scrapbook pages, so that part of the challenge was an easy one for me, but what I appreciated about Stephanie's post was a reminder to voice our gratitude and appreciation for those we love. I took the opportunity to post this layout on both of my son's Facebook time-lines on Mothers Day to remind them of my love and grateful heart for having them in my life. Here it is...

My challenge to you, my dear readers...take a moment to show your gratitude for a relationship in your life. Whether it's baking brownies for your mailman, or writing a love letter to your husband of 35 years, or just calling someone you haven't spoken to for a while. I hope you share your thoughts/deeds/intentions with us.

Passing the love forward, Enikö
